New Episode Coming on Tonight

If you missed last weeks episode you will get a chance to watch it again tonight right before the newest episode.
Last weeks episode we got to get a look at the newest crew member of Troy Landry's.

Liz Cavalier seemed to be a little nervous with her first shots but made a quick recovery and ended up joking around with Troy. She may be a woman but that doesn't hinder her ability in any way to give the men a run for their money when it comes to gator hunting. Tune in tonight to watch the episode. Followed by this weeks newest episode Hot Pursuit.

First Mates:

This season, Troy has been hunting without his longtime helper Clint, and the boys have struggled, falling behind last year's pace. Determined to get back on track, Troy enlists the help of a local sharpshooter...a lady gator hunter named Liz Cavalier. Renegade Gator Hunter Bruce Mitchell hunts alone...that is if you don't count his partner/dog Tyler. Bruce and Tyler began the season solidly, racking up the gators and filling tags. It's business as usual--until, Tyler suddenly goes missing. For Joe and Tommy, the season was off to a strong start...but then, Tommy's behavior disrupted their momentum. Now, a monster gator is popping their lines, and the boys are determined to get him. As the sun sets, Terral and Trapper Agent Corey Hunt are on the trail of a large gator that's been menacing the locals. The boys scour the area to relocate the gator, and to rid the threat...before some one gets hurt.

After last weeks episode be sure to watch Hot Pursuit and come back to share with us your favorite part of the episode and what you have enjoyed about the season so far.

Some people shouldn't carry a gun....

If you caught tonights episode you witnessed all of Junior's bad shots. Clipping Willie under the eye and his arm along with sending shrapnel to their other comrades hand. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, Junior's weakness is gun shot aim. Luckily for Willie his mom is the on call doctor and quickly helps him get the lead out from under his eye, but after the attempt on getting the chunk out of his arm he has enough and opts for waiting to remove it.

Poor Troy isn't having much luck and his gator season isn't looking to bright. Troy seems to think it's because Clint isn't helping him anymore and tries to win Clint over but Clint kindly refuses due to him having to work on getting his own business started. Troy was very understanding, but it is a let down for him because he has a ton of tags to fill before the end of the season.


I sincerely hope they can get their season going with no hitches but only time will tell and if you know anything about alligator hunting you know time isn't a luxury these swamp men have.

The New People of Swamp People

There are a new bunch of swamp people appearing on the show and all of them are not just out to shoot a gator. One in particular Terral Evans is all about trapping alligators that become a nuisance to nearby residents.If you saw tonights episode he was after a cannibal gator that was eating up the other gators, which doesn't seem to be totally uncommon aft Troy Landry caught his cannibal gator last season.

So who have we seen new to the season and who is to come?

First up we have Terral Evans, as I mentioned earlier he isn't in this to kill the gator, he is more of a gator wrestling guru. Amazing how he just reaches into that murky swamp water and pulls out a gator like its nothing. He does this all in Slidell, LA
(where I lived if you didn't know *wink*). On tonights episode they just about got pulled in the water by one angry gator but thankfully Terral was there to save the day, catch the gator and later release him in a more remote part of the swamp land.

Terral Evans stands 6'4" and weighs in at around 240 pounds. Terral is a swamper in every way—a man who loves the area around Pearl River. While the other swampers are busy hunting gators, Terral is busy moving them. Terral is a gator tagger working with Mississippi Fisheries and Wildlife to track and tag gators. If a gator is causing problems, everyone around knows to call Terral. He does his work at night, snatching gators barehanded, right out of the water.

Another Alligator hunter is RJ and his son Jay Paul.

R.J. Molinere Jr. is a Native American, and he is powerful in both body and spirit. Like his Houmas ancestors, he makes a living off the land, hunting with his son, Jay Paul. R.J. raised Jay Paul to follow in his footsteps—both on and off the swamp. They are a formidable new team on the bayou and they're ready to give anyone a run for their money.

Still to see is Glenn and Mitchell Guist. If you were to picture a swamp man in your head I am pretty confident it would look like these two guys.

Brothers Glenn and Mitchell Guist were born, raised and still live in their grandparents' house on Conway Bayou. They're master hunters, taught to live off the land by their father and so close neighbors call them by one name: "glenmitchell." If the fish in Conway Bayou aren't biting, the Guists aren't bothered—any bush meat will do, and that means squirrel to nutria to wild boar could be on the menu.

Also to see is Liz Cavalier, the only female alligator hunter on Swamp People. She is a modern day Calamity Jane for sure.

There aren't many Cajun lady gator hunters on the swamp. Taught by her father, Liz has been hunting gator since she was a little girl, using the same type of gun fired by Annie Oakley. An ace shot, Liz prides herself on being "one of the boys." She baits the hooks, pulls the lines and throws a knife with the best of them.

With the new hunters along with the old this is sure to be a great season!

Who caught the series premier last night?

Swamp People seems to always leave you begging for more and they didn't disappoint last night with the series premier. If you were unable to watch it last night it should be available at History.com soon. Here's a short summary of last nights show.

Gator Gauntlet

As a new gator season begins in Southern Louisiana, hunters across the state return to the swamp with more on the line than ever before. Legendary Gator Hunter Troy Landry is back with his son Jacob. For Joe and Tommy, they have one goal in mind--to set new records. The duo hopes their trusty "shake and bake" bait seasoning will bring in more gators. Junior Edwards and son Willie have more tags than ever before. To accommodate the increase in tags, Junior's team begins their hunt with a much larger boat. But immediately, its size causes problems. When the sun sets and the gator hunters head home, Terral Evans is just getting started. There are many different jobs in the swamp, but Terral plies an unusual trade. Terral's a gator wrangler--when an alligator needs to be captured alive, he's the man to call. At night, when the nocturnal gators come to life, Terral grabs them from the water alive using only his bare hands, risking life and limb with every catch.
